Dreaming of Being Human

Fine Art Photography

Artist Statement

I am fascinated by the natural world around us and how, if we look closely enough, we can more strongly sense both its beauty and its harshness. Photographing wildlife in human settings can be off-putting at first. Yet there is no animal more human-like than the great apes. In this series, I have tried to capture their nature in poses more characteristic of ourselves.

In “Dreaming of Being Human” the reflection of a young gorilla is superimposed on a ledge upon which a Starbucks cup is perched. It may seem expected and yet disconcerting.

The views expressed by our artists in their artist statements do not necessarily represent the views of our art galleries. Artists can be visually expressive but may verbally misrepresent their true intentions or idea.
